Only a Few More Days Before We Can Hear the Hamilton Cast Album

The original Broadway cast recording of Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical Hamilton will be released digitally on September 25, with an in-store release date set for October 16. Black Thought and Questlove of the Roots produce the album, which will drop on the Atlantic Records label.

Directed by Thomas Kail and inspired by Ron Chernow's biography Alexander Hamilton, Hamilton explores the life of the American founding father and first Secretary of the Treasury, as well as his experiences as an orphan of the British West Indies who immigrated to the 13 Colonies and helped shape the United States of America. The show, which had its world premiere at the Public Theater, features a hip-hop score by Tony winner Miranda, who also stars as the title character (Javier Muñoz takes on the role of Alexander Hamilton once a week).

The principal cast also includes Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr), Drama Desk Award winner Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler), Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton), Jonathan Groff (King George), Daveed Diggs (Marquis De Lafayette, Thomas Jefferson), Christopher Jackson (George Washington), Anthony Ramos (John Laurens, Phillip Hamilton), Okieriete Onaodowan (Hercules Mulligan, James Madison), and Jasmine Cephas Jones (Peggy Shuyler, Maria Reynolds).

Hamilton opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6. It played an acclaimed, Drama Desk Award-winning run at the Public Theater earlier this year.
